"You should just punch yourself in the f*cking face!"

December 28, 20234 min read

On Christmas Eve, I met my sister's new boyfriend for the first time.

(It's very rare my sister brings a new guy around. She's very picky.)

Anyway, I met him, and he's cool. I like that he's a nerd. He works at SpaceX, and he's responsible for rocket ship failures (no joke). If a launch fails, it's his fault.

He was telling me about how he worked his way up into his current role by designing the heat shield of Falcon 9 or something like that. As soon as he finished babbling, I asked the real question worth knowing…

"So," I asked, "Have you met Elon Musk?"

It turns out, he has met Elon——seven times actually——and it turns out, he has a killer "Elon story."

In one of the meetings, he was presenting to Elon and the executive team. He was explaining something about some rocket thingamajig, when Elon turned to him and asked him a question.

Nervous, he replied and began explaining how a certain system worked in the rocket.

However, Elon kept pressing him——questioning whether or not he was right.

My sister's boyfriend fumbled a bit and looked to his fellow VPs to back him up. However, they cowered and didn't chime in.

All the sudden he was replying to Elon, and said, "Well the system actually technically works like thi——"

"You should just punch yourself in the fucking face!" Elon shouted. "It sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about!"

It turns out, my sister's boyfriend did know what he was talking about.

Later in the week, my sister's boyfriend went to Elon with a spreadsheet explaining everything.

Even though Elon embarrassed him in front of his entire team (and almost fricken' made a grown man cry!)——can you guess what Elon said in response?

You would think Elon said something like, "Oh, crap, my bad. Sorry for screaming at you in front of all your executives and peers."

But no.

Elon uttered one word.

In fact, there is only one word Elon says whenever anyone does something praiseworthy——even if it's a work of genius.

The only word Elon ever replies with is: "Good."

That's it. "Good."

It's crazy, honestly.

I'm an Elon fan, don't get me wrong——but to work in an environment like that sounds like a perfect definition of hell to me.

I could NEVER deal with a dickhead boss that treated me that way——even if the mission was amazing (colonizing Mars and becoming a multi-planetary species).

It saddens me to think how many smart and brilliant people are grinding away at SpaceX because they see no other option.

I just looked it up and there are over 13,000 employees at SpaceX.

And guess what?

Most of them are brilliant——and they have incredible insights to share with the world——however, they have no other option to make a living other than slaving away for some massive company.

The truth is——there is a way——there is a path——a clear path——to making multiple six figures a year as an independent writer, creator, and thinker.

It's the complete opposite model everyone else out there follows today.

Everyone follows the over-popularized Digital Knowledge Business model today.

They use digital channels to capture digital email addresses, and they sell them (crappy) digital knowledge products (like courses).

This business model is a dead end.

The key to success going into 2024 is NOT A.I., or FapGPT, or Writing Online, or any of that crap!

The key to success revolves around breaking out of the over-trafficked distribution channels and into the world of analog knowledge.

I swear to you——you are freaking lucky to be in the position you're in right now! There are 13,000+ corporate drones slaving away at SpaceX who are very smart people——however, they do not know the business model you're about to learn in Issue No. 13 of The Scott Scheper Letter.

In Issue No. 13, I'll be teaching you the intricacies of the Analog Knowledge Business.

I'll show you how I have generated $205.5k so far this year with a physical book and a physical newsletter.

Here's a screenshot to prove it (from my Stripe account):
